As Nayland College moves towards fully integrating BYOD into Years 9 and 11 in 2020, each newsletter, we will be profiling how our staff and students are using this technology to improve teaching and learning. This time we stopped by Mr Crawford’s Year 9 maths class.

On Wednesday we farewelled our amazing cohort of Year 13 students at our graduation dinner. The dinner was organised by Year 13 students Nikita Sandrey and Sophie Bruce, with food supplied by our amazing hospitality department and students.

Next year, all Year 9 and 11 students at Nayland College will be expected to bring their own laptops to school. Many of you might be wondering what the best options are.

We got the students to rate their device out of five and then give some reasons why they gave it that rating. At the end of the article is an attachment which contains more detail about the specifications of each device.
